With a thunderous roar, Illusory Unicorn Flash Dash suddenly appeared behind him and carried him toward the work-study students' dormitory.

"It can actually fly!"

Xiao Wu watched Fei's figure, her eyes widening slightly. At the same time, she felt a vague sense of familiarity.

"Fei, take me with you!"

"Dream on!" Fei shouted without turning his head. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from Xiao Wu's sight.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Fei lay on his new bed, relaxed and content.

By evening, Wang Sheng and the others returned one after another. Tang San and Xiao Wu were naturally among them.

The moment she entered the room, Xiao Wu noticed Fei, who had his back to her.

"Oh, you!"

"Big Sis Xiao Wu spent so long looking for you outside, and you were hiding here, sleeping like a log!"

"Big Sis Xiao Wu, Brother Fei must be tired. Just let him get some proper rest." Wang Sheng scratched his head as he spoke. After all, Fei had fought someone earlier, so it was perfectly normal for him to be tired.

The commotion soon woke Fei. With his temper after being roused from sleep, his head immediately began to throb.

So annoying!

Fei turned over and looked at Xiao Wu and the others in the dormitory, then helplessly turned back around.

"Fei, wake up. There's something I want to ask you to help with."

At that moment, Tang San walked over.

"What is it?" Fei asked indifferently, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Tang San explained, "Tomorrow, I have to obtain my first Soul Ring with my teacher. It might take quite a long time."

"So I want to ask you for a favor. Could you do my work as a work-study student for me?"

"Of course, you can have all the pay."

"No." Fei replied indifferently, "Go ask Xiao Wu. She's the leader of the work-study students, so she has a duty to help her underlings!"

"Why are you asking me?!" Xiao Wu stared at Fei in disbelief.

"I already said, you're the leader. Shouldn't you help your own underlings?" Fei said as though it were only natural. "You can take over my work too. Just remember to give me the pay."

The corner of Xiao Wu's mouth twitched slightly.

Even if she was not very bright, she knew that this was a thankless, exhausting task.

Besides, why should she do the work while the pay went to Fei?

"Don't look at me. Looking at me won't help!" When Xiao Wu saw Tang San gazing at her expectantly, she snorted. "Obviously, the underlings should help the leader with the work. Why should the leader help the underlings?!"

"The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility! Those who can do more should work more!" Fei put a flattering label on her, instantly short-circuiting Xiao Wu's brain.

In the end, Wang Sheng and the others took on Tang San's work for the next few days.

Xiao Wu returned to her bed and lay down, covering herself with the new quilt Yu Xiaogang had given Tang San.

Not far away, Tang San was on the verge of tears. He was deeply aggrieved as he covered himself with the quilt Yu Xiaogang had sent over later.

That quilt had originally been intended for Fei, to win him over.

Unfortunately, Fei had not fallen for it.

"Brother Fei, Big Sis Xiao Wu, aren't you going to cultivate tonight?" Wang Sheng asked in surprise as he watched the two of them getting ready for bed.

Cultivate?

Fei glanced at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu looked back at him.

The next second, the two shook their heads at the same time.

"Not interested!"

Cultivate? What a load of crap!

I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast transformed into a human. Even if I don't cultivate, my Soul Power will naturally increase.

Xiao Wu sprawled out on the bed like a starfish, her sleeping posture extremely inelegant.

Fei was much the same. He was even already snoring faintly.

Seeing how quickly the two had fallen asleep, Wang Sheng was speechless.

Is this the legendary ability to fall asleep instantly?

Tang San glanced toward Fei and shook his head.

Although this fellow possesses Innate Full Soul Power, he wastes his talent like this. He will never amount to much in the future.

The next morning, Tang San left the work-study students' dormitory early.

Wang Sheng and the others woke up one after another shortly afterward.

Fei and Xiao Wu slept until they woke naturally, then only barely managed to straighten their clothes before preparing to attend today's opening ceremony.

After putting on his school uniform, Fei narcissistically flicked his hair.

"What a show-off!" Xiao Wu passed by and snorted as she shoved Fei aside and walked out.

"There was so much room beside me. Did you really have to shove me?" Fei shouted at Xiao Wu's back.

"Big Sis Xiao Wu felt like it!" Xiao Wu replied without turning her head.

"A gentleman doesn't fight with a woman! I won't hold it against you!" Fei curled his lips.

Just then, Tang San, who had left early that morning, suddenly returned. Beside him was Yu Xiaogang, whom Fei had met the day before.

"Fei, I'm preparing to take Xiao San to obtain his first Soul Ring."

"You also have Innate Full Soul Power. Why don't you come with us?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression was gentle, though his smile was stiff and unpleasant.

Fei thought about it and decided that he did indeed need to obtain a Soul Ring. Before that, however, he needed to find out what kind of Soul Ring Yu Xiaogang wanted him to get.

"Master Yu, what kind of Soul Ring do you want me to obtain?"

Yu Xiaogang seemed to have been prepared for this. A confident smile appeared on his face. He instinctively clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head, puffed out his chest, and said:

"Judging from your performance yesterday, your Martial Soul should possess a fire attribute."

"Your Martial Soul has never appeared before, so I don't understand it very well yet. However, the best choice would still be to obtain a fire-attribute Soul Ring."

"Fire attribute..."

Fei nodded. Although Yu Xiaogang seemed rather strange and his ideas differed from those of ordinary people, this point happened to be similar to what Fei had been thinking.

His own specialty had always been fire-attribute abilities.

However, he had some doubts about Yu Xiaogang's combat ability.

Although Yu Xiaogang possessed Level 29 Soul Power, he was so weak that he could not even defeat a hundred-year Soul Beast.

If he went with Yu Xiaogang to hunt a Soul Beast, apart from helping him identify the species and age of the Soul Beast, Yu Xiaogang did not seem to have any other use.

Oh, right. He could also be deadweight...

Thinking of this, Fei awkwardly waved his hand. "Thank you for your kindness, Master Yu! But you two should go yourselves. I'll think about my Soul Ring later..."

Regardless of what Yu Xiaogang's intentions were, Fei felt that he was a model student, so he should at least show the proper courtesy.

"Farewell." Fei passed by the two of them and left with the main group.

"What..." Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, then sighed. "Fei, the academy only organizes Soul Ring hunts for its students at the end of the term. Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

"Be careful," Fei said, waving his hand.

"Fei, why do you think humans have to kill Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings?"

On the way, Xiao Wu asked this question without thinking.

"Because this is the Douluo Continent."

Fei's answer was very straightforward.

So straightforward that Xiao Wu was left speechless.

"What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Wu racked her brain and thought about it, but found that she could not understand it at all.

"It means..."
